Just drop the existing users & schemas in dev with the DROP USER . . .
CASCADE command - here is a query that will generate the script to drop
all users for you other than the exceptions in the IN list:
 
select 'drop user ' || username || ' cascade;'
from dba_users where username not in
('SYS','SYSTEM','OUTLN','DBSNMP','DIP','TSMSYS');
 
Also, you'll probably want to add direct=y to your exp command - it will
most likely make it MUCH faster.

Brandon
